Intel & Google Cloud Collaborate to Deploy Cloud-First Business Models

In an interesting move, Intel collaborates with Google Cloud to bolster enterprises’ ability to conceive and deploy cloud-first business models using their existing on-premise, self-managed hardware. As a part of the collaboration, the two organizations have co-developed reference architectures optimized for Anthos on bare metal solution.

Customers looking to deploy data centre and edge computing can leverage the reference architectures to rapidly deploy enterprise-class applications on their existing hardware infrastructure and efficiently handle complicated hybrid- and multi-cloud tasks.

Jason Grebe, VP & GM, Cloud & Enterprise Solutions Group, Intel, said in a statement, “With today’s rapidly evolving business climate, enterprises are constantly looking for new ways to modernize their business while leveraging their existing infrastructure.” Adding further he said, “Running Anthos on bare metal using servers based on Intel Xeon Scalable processors will simplify the deployment of a cloud-first approach, opening a wide array of new use cases across retail, telco and manufacturing industries.”

Commenting on the occasion, Rayn Veerubhotla, Director, Partner Engineering at Google Cloud, said, “Anthos on bare metal provides customers with more choice and flexibility over where to deploy applications in the public cloud, on prem or at the edge. Intel’s support for Anthos on bare metal ensures that customers can quickly deploy their enterprise applications on existing hardware, simplifying their path to hybrid- and multi-cloud approaches.”
